If the soapbox were NOT gone then I could answer this several different ways.

Don't overlook the guy who is always right on Twitter! (Newspapers told that he twittered 132 Truths(tm) yesterday.)

Limits to slender royalty maybe may need to be put on for this CCC?
(8,4)
Slender => THIN
Royalty => KING
Limits => CAPS
Thinking caps are (metaphorically) put on in order to solve puzzles.

Like it! "Exercise bike" leapt to mind for some weird reason, but it clearly wasn't that, so I donned my cogitation hat (I usually only wear it for tricky debugging) and it was obvious.

I miss getting peanuts on the plane, now it's dried peas and dried broad beans and some other things.
yeah I realise in the 100,000 flights per day 1 or 2 with a genuine peanut allergy might be aboard a plane per year (and those 3 or 4 people in the entire world sensitive enough to be affected by their neighbour eating peanuts are already on appropriate medication) - so they can just say "no thanks"
airlines let people make meal requests (veggie, vegan, kiddie, kosher ...),
why not snack requests? "would you like peanuts or this other non peanut parrot food crap?"
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

I don't watch CNN so can't honestly say, but if I had to venture a guess, I'd say pharmaceuticals then, during election years, followed closely by political contributions.
But do you not understand the difference between regular ads and native advertising? That was my main point.
When your newscaster is eating a taco and raving at how great it is and that there's a 2-for-1 deal right now at all participating Taco Bells, are you okay with that?
Leave the ads for the commercial breaks.
[Edit]
For a great education on this topic, have a listen to the No Agenda podcast (you might recognize one of the hosts, John C. Dvorak, as a long-time PC Mag columnist). They essentially look at the week's news, and deconstruct how the mainstream media are presenting news stories and how they're being censored by their corporate advertisers. They play a lot of clips nobody else would ever run, or show how sound bites have been carefully edited to present a different slant on things. If you stick with it, after a few episodes, you'll come to see the news in a whole different light. Plus it's very entertaining, once you get into it. They record two 3-hour podcasts every week - I subscribe to the podcast and find I don't need to watch news anymore--they do a better job keeping me up to date.

No, I'm just suggesting that they were quite aware of native advertising

They are, indeed, but are their viewers? Some people are dumb enough to think this is a newsworthy thing, and not a promotion, which is what it is. See the edit to my previous response...
